As many of you have probably heard, a new rendering backend is being worked on for Godot. Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shader editing. Refactor the rendering API to make it easier to understand (and contribute to!).

Because the model has a huge number of polygons and we have to play at 60 frames per second. There are often thousands or even tens of thousands of polygons that go into a fully rendered model. With thousands of polygons potentially colliding, that can easily mean millions of collision checks every frame.
